The Tap Restaurant + Brewery Opens Next Week in St. Charles

St. Charles doesn't have an iTap, but perhaps the Tap Restaurant + Brewery(3803 Elm Street, St. Charles) can fill the craft-beer void. We first reported on the restaurant in December, and co-owner Jerry Berhorst tells us barring a health inspection, the Tap'll be open for St. Patrick's Day.

"We're trying to race to the finish line. We're a week or less away," Berhorst tells us. There have been some changes to the menu -- now all of it will be made from scratch, instead of about half. The Tap's executive and sous chefs were hired from Quintessential in St. Charles.

A previous version of this post incorrectly stated that the Tap hired Quintessential's executive and sous chefs -- the executive and sous chefs at the Tap were hired from Quintessential. We regret the error.
